AN IMPORTANT
POINT TO
REMEMBER
If we become servants or workers we too should
remember that, as Muslims, we must be loyal to our
employers. The Muslim worker must always be eager, help-
ful and honest. He should exert himself to the best of his
ability to earn the respect and favour of his fellow workers
and his employer. The worker must be grateful to Allah for
his work and income and must recognize the value of work
as opposed to idleness, laziness or begging. The Muslim
worker must not be envious of the income of others nor
hate those for whom he works. He must be a friend by help-
ing and supporting his fellow workers as well as his
employer. He must be to them as he would like them to be
to him. If the employer is unjust or if the worker feels that
he deserves more then it is his duty, as a Muslim, to help
his employer by pointing out any wrongdoing and advising
him to refrain from committing injustice as an employer.
The Muslim worker should always be aware that he is in no
way inferior to his employer. If a worker is still unhappy then
he should remember to fulfill his promises to his employer
before leaving and taking up any other work. He must
always remember that Allah loves those who work well and
that Allah rewards immensely those who work to make the
lives of all people better. Allah forgives the sins of those
who work diligently and honestly and the good workers and
employers will be in the company of the Prophets [a] and
the pious in the hereafter.
“An honest and decent businessman will be taken with
martyrs and those who love Allah.”
“Whoever takes a rest after tiring work to obtain decent
earnings, rests as a man forgiven (for his sins).”
“
The man who works to support his family is in the path
of Allah and the man who supports his old father and
mother is in the path of Allah as well.”
“Work, and Allah, the Prophet and the believers will wit-
ness your work.”
